Philip Morris Korea (PMK) has appointed Hannah Yun, the managing director of Philip Morris Australia, as the new managing director of Philip Morris Korea.

She starts her position next month, PMK said on Wednesday.

Yun joined PMK in 1997 and worked for Philip Morris in Malaysia, Switzerland and Hong Kong from 2003 to 2007 to take charge of business growth strategies and market operations in each jurisdiction.

She then served as director of financial analysis and support at the company’s office in Switzerland from 2008 to 2013, where she was responsible for managing communication of Philip Morris International’s financial information.

Since 2021, she has worked as the managing director of Philip Morris Australia.

“With its cutting-edge technology and dynamic market environment, Korea is one of the most important countries leading Philip Morris’s transformation to a ‘smoke-free future,” Yun said in a statement. “I will further strengthen the competitiveness of Philip Morris Korea by implementing consumer-centric strategies and services based on my international experience.”
